Arterial puncture by the percutaneous technique is resorted to in most cases. The usual arteries used are the femoral and radial. Brachial or axillary artery puncture can be used in case the former approaches are not available, but they are usually not preferred. Brachial artery can also be approached through a cut down instead of percutaneous puncture.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33280\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/professional\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/lca-rao-caudal.jpg\" alt=\"Coronary Angiogram\" width=\"1200\" height=\"975\">Left Coronary Angiogram in RAO Caudal View<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">LMCA: Left Main Coronary Artery<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">LAD: Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">LCX: Left Circumflex Coronary Artery<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">OM: Obtuse Marginal branch of LCX<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Radial cannulation for coronary angiography is now a days the most preferred approach.

Downsides are the potential for radial artery spasm, especially when multiple catheter exchanges are needed and small risk of hand ischemia.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But these are rare and hand ischemia is seldom a problem even if there is loss of patency of the radial artery if the collaterals of the superficial and deep palmar arches are good. <a href=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/professional\/barbeau-test-allens-test-using-pulse-oximetry\/\">Barbeau test<\/a> is a modification of the Allen&#8217;s test using pulse oximetry to check the adequacy of the palmar arches prior to radial cannulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coronary angiography is an investigation in which iodine containing contrast is injected into the coronary artery and cine films or fluoroscopic video are recorded using X-ray equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-angiography-and-interventions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
